Look Around
We are idle strangers Married to our dangers Into space we go to change our ways Flying to our heavens We are all together Into hell we chase the light of day Look around and you'll see Ruins of the human history Look around and you'll see Time is only floating in your mind You will find Searching for time Empty is your mind We are charmed by living Dazzled into giving All the waste we plan to ignore Coldness is the virtue Measured by the untrue Love is used for something but what for? Look around and you'll see Ruins of the human history Look around and you'll see Time is only floating in your mind You will find Searching for time Empty is your mind Look around
Do Yourself A Favor
Isolated junk yard Letting out the garbage Eating through the core of life Sweet fragrance irritates In a state room death awaits Persecute your own self-pride Suffocate the new high Ride the thorny mule that cries "Dig your grave and step right in" Like a judas pay the price 30 pieces for a ride Here's the fire take a chew Do yourself a favour Educate your mind Get yourself together Hey there ain't much time Do yourself a favour Educate your mind Get yourself together Hey there ain't much time Shredded know-how give away Species of the human race Those funky winds of ups and downs Hall of grit is known too well Heaven still is your hell Poison slowly slowly drowns Let the devil step right in Lucifer's your only friend Ain't a soul go'n pity you Hurdly over time to death With open arms it waits I bet Don't you wish you could reach ground? Do yourself a favour Educate your mind Get yourself together Hey there ain't much time Do yourself a favour Educate your mind Get yourself together Hey there ain't much time
Think Of Me As Your Soldier
Think of me as your soldier The man whose life is for you And the sweet love That's greater than time has known Think of me as your soldier Through worlds of hate I'm for you Tho' the darkness hits me ever hard I'll stand long And we'll be lovers seeing love by heaven's light Lovers dreaming dreams each blessed by night I will find the promised paradise With you there I'll spend my life In our hearts there are no others We are bound as two lovers To give the great eternal love And we'll be lovers seeing love by heaven's light Lovers dreaming dreams each blessed by night I will find the promised paradise With you there I'll spend my life I'll spend my life Think of me, girl, as your soldier Through worlds of pain I'm for you To give an endless love To give an endless love To give an endless love To you....
If You Really Love Me
And if you really love me won't you tell me.. And if you really love me won't you tell me.. And if you really love me won't you tell me.. Then I won't have to be Playing around You call my name Oooh so sweet To make your kiss incomplete When your mood is clear You quickly change your ways Then you say I'm untrue What am I supposed to do Be a fool who sits alone waiting for you But if you really love me won't you tell me.. But if you really love me won't you tell me.. And if you really love me won't you tell me.. Then I won't have to be Playing around I see the light of your smile Calling me all the while You are saying baby It's time to go... First the feeling's alright Then it's gone from sight So I'm taking out this time to say Oh if you really love me won't you tell me.. Oh if you really love me won't you tell me.. And if you really love me won't you tell me.. Then I won't have to be Playing around no Playing around no Hey yeah Goofin' around no Oh baby Playing around no Let me know how you feel baby Hey oh baby Playing around no

Take Up A Course In Happiness
When life reaches out and takes you On an unpleasent ride And your bridge of dreams comes Tumblin' down Don't let your bed of sorrow Ever conquer your pride Remember there's always a way out Just take up a course in happiness Take up a course to clear out your mind You will show yourself how to smile Take up a course in happiness Take up a free instruction in life You will learn how to smile And when your optimism Has a set back or two And you feel all your tryin's in vain (Your heart's in the rain) Don't give up the hope that's due you Just to study your doubt Remember there's always a way out Just take up a course in happiness Take up a course to clear out your mind You will show yourself how to smile Take up a course in happiness Take up a free instruction in life You will learn how to smile (Repeat three times)
Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer I thought you would go then come back home I thought the cold would leave by summer But my quiet nights will be spent alone You said there would be warm love in springtime That was when you started to be cold I never dreamed you'd leave in summer But now I find myself all alone You said then you'd be the life in autumn Said you'd be the one to see the way I never dreamed you'd leave in summer But now I find my love has gone away Why didn't you stay?
